    Anyone living & trading from an RV?

    I had sprint wireless last year and it worked perfectly. No limit on downloaded data and it never dropped the connection. Recommended.

    franchise dilemma.

    I think a lot of them do. However, some companies only allow you to what is call "pre-sell" that is collect orders and make sure the truck is filled with the right product. Some of those route have 2 trucks and also, after a while if you can afford to pay somebody $600/week then why do it yourself.

    car wash would be perfect but here in NYC they go for 1 million + which is not in my ballpark by a long shot. Laundrymat, I thought about it and it could be a cash cow.

    Thanks for the info. Seems that most have a problem with the Numbers. A good accountant with a dishonest owner could make a mediocre company look like a gem, and that is what keeps me at bay.

    I think a secret to a well run company is happy and content workers. So I think Howard Stern would be on the dial. Disclaimer: he is not my cup of tea.

    Your message is music to my ears. I have heard of tasty cake and I am glad the guy is making money. This morning,I went to my local Key Food and saw a guy standing next to a Tropicana truck. The truck was huge but he was with his pad and the helper was unloading the stuff. I asked him how was...

    I like Fed Ex but here in NY it presents a special set of problems, namely tickets. I used to drive a yellow taxi to put myself through college and it was so distressing when you would make $150 and then they would get you for something really stupid, and $110 of the above amount would go to the...

    I see your reasoning and it is sound. The part where you must deliver the juice rain or shine could be a weight in the future. However, with good help and a nice steady income, this particular problem could be overcome. What is troublesome is that the company can take your route away from...

    You are correct, I live in Queens and was looking for something in my borough and Long Island. Manhattan routes are overpriced to begin with and parking/ticket is a big headache. I think the 64K question is if the numbers are real. Paying 400K for 190K of profit per year is not bad...

    So far we were looking at OJ routes since people have to buy food/liquids to survive. Also Snapple has been on the favorite list. Question is, how reliable are those numbers? Has anybody bought/sold or have any experience with this type of business? So far we like: 1. Snapple Route -...
